This was a terrible meeting, and it was even said to be a bit sad. In Arthur’s perception, the Old Friend in front of him died as early as the moment he entered the Black Mountain Hospital more than ten years ago, although his body still existed. There was some naive reason, but he was very clear.

Cole is dead, and Mordred is dead. At this moment, what is hidden in the body is only a eroded reason, a muddleheaded soul. The doctors are just out of ethics. He has not been euthanized, after all, the value of his research has been exhausted long ago.

Arthur couldn’t have imagined that, after so many years, Cole could still talk to himself rationally, it was incredible.

“It feels good to be able to rethink.”

Cole rubbed his head and regained his sanity. The memories of so many years also appeared in his mind, all kinds of embarrassment and even the shouts of some mental illness just now. All this flashed in front of his eyes at this moment. Smiled, but then became sad again.

“No, how is this possible, your sanity is already…”

Arthur couldn’t believe it. According to the test at the time, Cole had been eroded to the end of the 2nd stage. Although he would not continue to be alienated into Demon, his sanity was completely eroded and shattered. But now Cole is like a normal one. Talking to myself.

“Maybe it’s the reason why I specialized in Ranger, but everything related to Demon is full of doubts. Who really knows it?”

Cole said to himself.

“You might not believe it, Arthur. I seem to have been having an extremely long dream during the years I have lost my mind.

That’s a good dream…”

As Cole said, he lowered his head in confusion. He looked at himself in the stagnant water, his pupils tightened slightly, and the young face in the memory overlapped with the old state, which made people feel a little frightened.

At the end of the memory, he was still a young guy, but when he woke up again he had become a rough Old Guy, as if someone had stolen his precious years while he was asleep.

But this kind of confusion and sadness didn’t last long. From Cole’s own perception, he was still a young man, but his mind was trapped inside this old body.

Everything seemed so fragmented, making his thoughts extremely confused.

“Original sin armor…it looks like you succeeded.”

Cole raised his head and looked at the blue shadow that was fighting with Demon. Ten years ago, these things only existed on the drawings. The main force of the cleansing agency was their group of rangers.

“Yes, not only that, but our understanding of Demon is getting deeper… we have seen the hope of eradicating Demon. Although this hope is still slim, it is much better than in the previous era.”

Arthur replied, hoping the news would make Cole feel better.

fire rain continuously fell, no one knows how long the scavengers will continue to baptism this land. Demon’s body burned and fell in flames. The soldiers squeezed their bodies into the shadow of the bunker as much as possible. In fact, none of these baptisms are currently available. To resist the direct hits of these fire rains, they can only pray that the fireworks of Divine Punishment will not fall on themselves.

Cole’s heart surged, and he knew what was going on without asking him more. His emotions became extremely complicated, but he finally sighed helplessly.

At that time, he was eroded and corrupted due to Demon’s attack. The last thing in his memory was lying on the operating table, listening to the whispers of the doctors, and when he woke up again, he was facing This battlefield full of Demon seems to be two nightmares connected together, spanning the years.

After a brief period of grief, Cole stared in awe. Although his appearance was aging, his heart was still young, and he was still on the battlefield.

“Where is Merlin? I remember he was also taken to Black Mountain Hospital with me. Is he still alive?”

“Merlin? He has left…no, no, he is also in the hospital, but he is no longer Merlin, and William has a successor.”

After so many years, those people Cole knew either died or were sealed off and left the cleaning agency. Arthur thought for a while that he was referring to the current Merlin, but he quickly reacted.

“Is he still alive?” Cole became anxious.

“Yes, but like you, he has also been eroded, and now he can eat whatever he sees.”

Although it was ridiculous, Arthur couldn’t help feeling sad when he thought of William once.

“where is he?”

“What are you going to do?” Arthur asked.

“Intelligence! At the time we were cooperating with William in the experiment. I don’t know what happened, but in the middle of the experiment, Demon broke out in the perpetual motion pump. I don’t know why, but William said he found the [truth]… You also understood everything, the perpetual motion pump was hit hard, but fortunately the harm did not spread.”

Cole began to move as he spoke, and even though his body had begun to deform, he still had to perform the duties that had not been severed.

There was a major disaster in the perpetual motion pump more than ten years ago. When Merlin, William, was invaded by Demon when he was conducting some kind of experiment, all the data was destroyed during the invasion. The person involved was also eroded like Cole William. Become a lunatic.

Therefore, in the follow-up investigation, it was like a god’s hand fiddled with all of this, the cleansing agency could not find anything, and could only seal up the incident.

“I didn’t know what happened at the time. The disaster broke out just like that. Our external defensive power did not encounter any enemies at all… As if the group of Demons appeared out of thin air in the perpetual motion pump, William knew that it happened. What’s wrong, if I can wake up, he might also wake up.”

Listening to Cole, Arthur’s eyes quickly swept across the scorched battlefield.

William, William, where are you?

In this fierce battle inside, they didn’t have enough energy to protect these patients, and Arthur couldn’t help shouting anxiously.

“Did anyone see William?”

What responded to him were those confused eyes. They didn’t even know who William was. Even if they knew, in this case, who cares what a gnaw and so on lunatic is?

Arthur’s heart was a little lost for a while. There were many reasons for the suspension of the Ranger project. The perpetual motion pump was hit hard, and the current Merlin became a lunatic. One of the reasons, but due to the complex mystery of the incident, this matter was cleansed. The agency concealed it.

This feeling is terrible, terrible. Arthur seemed to touch the truth of the past, but then he passed by…

“He’s in safe house #2!”

Someone shouted at this moment of loss.

Eve hid under the barrier built up by the 3rd generation armor, and hacked and killed the approaching Demon with others. Upon hearing Arthur’s roar, she moved towards the other end of the rain curtain and shouted.

“This guy doesn’t know how to catch ghosts at all! I only know how to gnaw things, so I locked him in the safe house… Maybe… Maybe he just survived like this?”

Eve shouted, unlike Robin who knew the cruelty, Eve still couldn’t accept all the cruelty, so she finally ran back to rescue Arthur, and organized the patients to play ghost hunting. She just hoped that more people would survive. .

Arthur listened to Eve’s call, gave her a deep look, then rushed into the research area without looking back, and shouted at the same time.

“Red Eagle, now the command is transferred to you!”

“Ah I?”

Red Eagle slashed the head of Demon. Although the explosion sound mixed with the sound of wind and rain, Arthur’s words still reached his ears clearly.

It’s hard to think that promotion and wealth are just today, this hell day, Red Eagle is happy and sad.

But there was no chance for them to question Arthur. When they looked towards Arthur, he had disappeared behind the rain with the patients who had recovered their sanity.

……

Demons also exist in the scientific research area, but due to the blockade, they failed to spread. At first, Arthur realized that the lifting area could not be evacuated and planned to lead the team back to the scientific research area. However, he thought of the possibility of being trapped inside by the demons. They gave up this idea, after all, staying in the lifting area, they have enough vision to fight the original sin armor against Demon.

In the gloom, the entire group ran wildly. In fact, not many patients recovered their sanity due to erosion, but it is certain that they were all rangers.

Demon, Demon is everywhere.

After emptying the Thermite rifle, all Arthur can use is the pocket knife in his hand. Even after so long, the two people still cooperated very well.

There is no room for them to escape in this narrow passage, and there is no retreat. They are like a cast iron lance, trying to penetrate everything all the way forward. Nothing can stop them, and when they stop Next time, it was also when lance broke.

“How is the development of the cleansing agency?”

During the fight forward, Cole asked from time to time that he was very curious about this “future” world.

“Not bad. Original sin armor was developed to the third generation. Most of the original sin armor is supported by machinery, not by Demon flesh and blood. As long as it is given to us for a period of time, we will be able to create a torrent of steel, and Demon will steadily retreat under our gunfire. , The good times are coming soon.”

Arthur said loudly.

“Our ranger is already a relic of the old age, although it is possible to release rays of light again… But we are no longer the protagonist, which is not bad, isn’t it?”

This is the inheritance of mankind, the change of history, the older generation sleeps forever, and the youngster walks to the front of the stage.

His vision was obscured by dirty blood. Arthur wiped his face vigorously. The liquid mixed with blood and water was wiped off by him. It was unclear whether it was Demon’s blood or his own blood.

His speed of swinging the knife appeared to be much slower. The head of Demon could be cut off with a single blow, but now he has to chop hard several times.

Arthur is already tired.

In fact, he thought he was going to die not long ago, but he was rescued by the killed Eve. At that time, the feeling was actually quite strange. He had been trying to protect the child. I don’t know when he has grown up. Not only can she protect She herself can protect Arthur.

“It’s really good, that’s her child, didn’t expect to grow up so big.” Cole said.

“Yeah, I didn’t expect her to grow up safe and sound. Of course she is not safe and sound, but at least she is still alive and full of vitality.”

Recalling the scarlet silhouette, Arthur laughed helplessly, and then Cole laughed with him.

The screams and roar kept on, their temporary action was simply to die, the dimly lit corridor was continuously shaking, and no one knew how many Demons were peering at them in the shadow of the scientific research area.

With continuously deepening, the team has suffered casualties, except those killed by Demon, and those left behind.

They are patients, patients who have been eroded and corrupted. Many years ago, doctors helped them to contain the spread of erosion, but today, many years later, they once again meet Demon.

The erosion that had been stagnant for a long time intensified again. Although it didn’t say anything, everyone could feel it. The cold erosion was like invisible vines entwining them little by little.

Some people seem to be able to foresee the coming of erosion. Before they completely alienated into Demon, they stopped silently, and then rushed towards the Demons that swarmed behind them and died as a human being.

In this way, one after another left behind.

“We’re almost there… Safe House 2 is in front. Hope the door is closed tightly, otherwise William may have been gnawed clean.”

Arthur said lightly, he rarely did that.

As he ran, Arthur stopped slowly, leaning against the wall gasping for breath with his pocket knife.

“Is it all right?” Cole asked.

The sound reverberated in the long space, turning around, I don’t know when they were the only ones left in the dim corridor.

“There is safe house No. 2 in front. Make sure William is safe, and then close it. The people outside attract Demon, maybe so he can survive.”

Arthur said weakly. He was already very tired, and at the same time there was another rapid footstep and the surging blood energy behind him.

“I need to rest for a while.”

He coughed vigorously. Since the outbreak of the Demon tide, Arthur has maintained a high-intensity battle. Ranger’s power comes at a price, and he is no longer young. After these battles, his body is full of The wound, the will is also struck by this heavy erosion.

Cole was silent. Of course he wouldn’t believe Arthur’s nonsense. The only result of resting in such a ghost place was torn to pieces by the Demon who followed, but he also knew that Arthur didn’t want to just admit defeat, he didn’t want to say it. When he said that he could not run, he admitted that he had failed. He didn’t want to admit defeat to Demon, so he insisted on it till now.

“Ah… it didn’t take long to wake up, but it feels terrible, Arthur.”

Cole said that he took Arthur’s shoulders and dragged him forward.

“When I woke up and found that I had been crazy for so many years, I was lying in the hospital bed for the good years… It feels like the entire world has changed when I wake up, panic and confusion, not to mention the discovery when I wake up. My own erosion is continuously increasing.

I just woke up and I was going to die again, which is too bad. “

Cole said looking towards Arthur’s blood-stained face, then laughed.

“Of course it is you who woke up and found that a familiar friend had become a bad old fogey.”

“That’s really sorry… Let go of me, Cole, to make sure William is alive, and then come back to me,” Arthur whispered.

“But I am also very happy. When I wake up, the cleansing agency still exists, and it has not been destroyed by Demon. Instead, I have a more comprehensive understanding of Demon. This is really good, and you have not lost motivation due to aging.”

Cole ignored Arthur’s words at all, just said each minding their own business.

“In fact, I was quite scared just now. After all, William is crazy. In this case, no one knows whether he is alive or not. At this time, I choose to find him and risk my death for information that may not be available… I was afraid that you would reject this proposal, but you still moved, came to him with me, and never thought about the consequences of whether you would die, right?”

“It’s great, Arthur, time hasn’t made you timid, it has made you braver.”

“Are you telling a last word?”

Arthur asked a little bit of strength.

This is a very suitable scene for telling last words, just like a tragic hero,

Arthur faltered and his consciousness became chaotic. He felt that the long corridor under his feet was so long, almost endless, and the safe house No. 2 that the two wanted to reach was like an out of reach of Holy Land.

“Forget it, after all, I have been eroded, and it is only a matter of time before the distance becomes Demon.”

Perhaps due to erosion and alienation, Cole is full of power at the moment. Arthur is dragged by him like a cargo, and the other deformed hand firmly grasps the pocket knife, and slashes the incoming Demon at will. kill.

“Arthur, listen to me. During the time I was eroded, when I was alive like a walking corpse, ignorantly… I don’t know how to describe… I… I seem to be trapped in a local.”

Cole yelled loudly. He didn’t know how much Arthur could hear, so he could only raise the volume as much as possible.

Mankind knows too little about Demon, and because of the erosion effect, a lot of knowledge is difficult to be continued. Everyone can die, but the precious information must be passed down before death.

This is an unknowable world, and they are seekers who fear death.

“what did you say?”

Arthur turned his head slightly, and gritted his teeth a little awake when he heard Cole’s words.

Seeing Cole who was suddenly agitated, an unspeakable force emerged within the body, and the burnt ashes ignited a flickering flame again after many years.

“Remember what William said? Their alchemists believe that there is a place called [Gap] at the end of darkness, the end of human consciousness.

During the muddleheaded years, I seem to be trapped in the place called [Gap]. I cannot feel hunger or fatigue, nor will I die or be injured. I am trapped in a scene I have seen in my memory. Inside, no matter which direction it is heading, there is no end to it.

Like…”

“The border, the border of hell.”

Arthur slowly said, listening to Cole’s words, his thoughts were sluggish for a while, as if there was no more fear at all.

This is what “Gospel” once said that there is an excessive area between the world of the living and the world of the dead, which is called the border of hell.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or something. Looking back on these crazy years, Cole felt that he had been wandering around a place similar to the border of hell, or a place called [Gap].

“Probably that’s the case, I don’t know what’s going on, but according to the rules of the cleansing agency, as long as there is something suspicious, it must be reported?”

Cole’s voice blurred, Arthur looked towards his face, and the azure blood vessels bulged under it, terrifying.

“You need to live, Arthur. Only you know this. You need to pass on this precious information. Even if you want to die, you have to wait to tell the latecomers to die before you die. And I…I should be left behind here. “

Cole let go of Arthur and threw him to the cold and firm ground. Arthur didn’t have time to say anything, Cole left like this, he stood up with a jackknife, but only 4 weeks remained. The sound of footsteps that keep going away.

Arthur wanted to scold Cole very much. He had no extra energy to fight, but Cole left himself in this place. Arthur didn’t know if he could walk to safe house 2.

He tried to walk, but his tired body was no longer able to move forward, and great despair shrouded him, but then Arthur seemed to have discovered something, he raised his head, and the huge iron gate was close at hand.
